Download Procoder for Digital Video User Manual

Quick keys allow for coding of the media using single keystroke coding when something
changes or an event needs to be marked. If quick keys are enabled, you can select the
group you wish to use the keys/codes from or you can have the program look at all the
groups for a key match. This option works by searching the first letters of the codes in
the code file list to select which code to put in the data grid. When the data grid is
selected and a key is hit that matches one of the first letters, a row is added to the data,
the time is marked, and the code is entered on the proper column. Using quick keys
automates the process of coding so that coding can be done quickly and efficiently as the
media is being played. You can do multiple groups in different passes of the media and
sort the data into temporal order later. If the Pause box is checked, the media will pause
once a quick key code is added to the data.
Turning on, and setting a value for, fixed-interval coding causes the time of a given row
to be entered automatically when new rows are added. Adding value given in the Interval
to Use box to the time from the previous row computes the time of the new row. This
mode of operation is described in greater detail under interval coding in the Code File
section of this manual.

Export options allow you to set how the data will be exported into MOOSES (event files)
or SALT (transcription files) file formats. All formats that Procoder, MOOSES, or SALT
use are standard ASCII text files and are readable by any word processor program or by
the notepad program in Windows.
